 Y'all we are on our way to just go run errands running errands meaning Finally took off the back of JB's booster seats So I had to look up the guidelines again because JB is four foot five, but he weighs 74 pounds Um, they recommend they recommend keeping kids in car seats to 12 JB's gonna be big by then. I think the requirement is Over is it over 70 or 72 pounds and four foot nine? I have family members who should probably be in car seats in if you gotta be four foot nine and over So anyway y'all This morning What's going on? This morning has been a bit of a bust for me. I wanted to get so much done and It's okay though because I got a lot done during the week day and doing the week itself but I'll probably you know like I said do some more organizing tomorrow now I wanted to share something that happened with JB today Which is why I often hear me say it's really important as a parent to be mindful what your child listen hears Sees all of that especially in the times that we're in right now. Okay, so I let JB look at this big-haired girl on YouTube called Jesse V She ain't watching my channel child she got a big old hedge anyway So she's a lovely young lady, but some of her content can be a little scary So JB apparently watched the video last night in another video today tell me why He would not go to the bathroom by himself now I will say to go to our bathroom is To go to the bathroom is a dark hallway. And so he would try was fit to be tight He was not trying to walk down that hallway. So finally I told him I said look We're not going anywhere until you brush your teeth go back in there and brush your teeth Finally went well, I told him and go back there with daddy because daddy was you know My husband was walking back there to get ready. I heard my husband walk by there And now I then I hear JB screaming and crying with the door closed. I'm like, what the hell is I'm thinking my husband Snatched him up and threw him in the bathroom. That's what I thought. So I got frustrated with both of them I'm going back there ready to bust up on the door to whoops some tail It's JB back there screaming and crying like he's two years old I'm like I gave him a few swaps on the on the butt This is how you know, you have a healthy relationship with your child when you can laugh about stuff later on But then I'm a type of person I discipline is not just tapping you on the butt And you talk to them so that you could correct that Don't laugh JB. So I pulled them I pulled them to the side gave him a hug girl. I'm old school I spank you then I hug you. So I pulled them upside and gave him a hug and I was like, why are you acting like this? I want I wanted to know we talk. What what did you watch? So he told me what he watched. I said JB Some swirly head something that he you know, so I said look I told him I said look baby This is why it's really important that That is very it's really important that you be careful about what you watch, you know as as My neuter mundane it may seem to us to go back to the bathroom and say him He was very fearful about it He was very scared because it's something that got in his head from looking at these ratchet videos So I said JB you can say a quick prayer. You can call on Jesus says Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Help me You can you complete the blood of Jesus. I said you said the blood of Jesus. So we tried to write JB one in the back I put him in the bathroom Child he breathed heavy down. So I heard him say the blood of Jesus blood of Jesus So I walk back walk by I walk back excuse me And I went away and I heard him say again blood of Jesus. So how did it make you feel JB? Were you calm? You still had a little anxiety. All right, but it calms you down Look, don't be afraid to you know Introduce your children to prayers and stuff. This is a great age. Honestly should have done it started last year But I've prayed over JB before but at this point he can learn how to pray for I had to try to wash his face some Oh child, you sound like dork vaguer Um if JB is not up by like 720 I'm waking you up like you need to get up you got stuff to do Like are you can't just be laying in bed all day But only because my baby goes to bed. I'm still I don't say I'm strict I'm just a type of person in just parent. I think that kids should have a schedule It's okay to go to bed late every now and then like once or twice a year, but in our household You need to be by nine o'clock You need to be chicken choking Peppa Pig whatever stuff animals that you be sleeping with You need to have money or stinky armpits and go in the bed So a bit of advice for those of you who are new parents experiencing young kids keep up your schedules No matter what's going on in the world What's going on in your lifestyle try to keep your kids on a schedule? It'll just go his face is a mess It'll just make your life easier and It's so funny I watch BuzzFeed's Q&A with her husband That's one of the things that she mentioned because they have a lot of kids One of the things that she mentioned that they do with their children and because they have different ages They do have to stagger their Schedules as far as going to bed and getting ready But you know we started early with JB to to where you know We go to bed at this time because I still the reason why I even mentioning this mentioning this excuse me I still know of parents who kids are not on schedules as far as sleeping Some of his friends and one of his friends who is also only child he still sleeps with his parents Still sleeps in the bed with his parents seven years seven years or not JB I will say Landon just turned seven. So while he was still sleeping with his parents. He was five Um, sorry, I had to wash his face off and we're gonna use some saline rinse for you. Jaby. Jaby. I was calling Jaby That's what those people call you. Hi, Jaby Okay Jimmy don't say that Yeah, people who are new to you, that's right because I Nikki was calling you Jaby to it first anyway on We were out and Phoenix basically. He's not even Phoenix considered Glendale There were so many people we had to stop at a gasoline station because I had to pee and I really I'm not one of those happy people. I don't know who really likes to use public bathrooms I do not Like No, no type of public bathrooms at all especially in this area, but I couldn't Can hold it. So we run into the bathroom. We'll first I Don't use your nose. So I put my face mask on Everybody there will put it like this. There was more people with no mask with mask on as opposed to having masks. Oh My god, so it's not gonna get stop it Jaby.

They say I read an article or people who just Freely saying I actually saw one friend to say We should have a choice whether or not to wear masks. You shouldn't make us wear a mask I'm gonna try to do it to Jaby. Oh, I have a hair video.

You make me sick, you know You can see yourself. Yeah Kind of see yourself. We're in the back here. I'm having my breakfast I'm having my breakfast and I'm gonna tell Jaby a story y'all I do this every now and then Um, this is a girl. Look at that collar bone glossing. Um, this is a part of me That's a little a little private that I'm showing that I'm sharing. Excuse me. I I ride I used to write poetry. Um while we're sitting here Um, so I'm gonna mostly have Jaby in the camera In the view. I think I guess I could scoop my fluffy butt over There we go. So Jaby this story. Well, I'm gonna give you the characters the setting So that we'll know what's going on. Okay So this story is I want to be looking at him. You guys you can look at the camera So this story is set in savannah, georgia. Georgia is in the south. Okay, savannah has a long southern history, baby They have a beautiful rich history savannah. It's a very beautiful city. Okay So character the main character is a young woman. She's in her 20s. Her name is jasmine, but her friends call her Mina, okay Jasmine was raised by her parents. Excuse me. Jasmine was raised by her grandparents Um, her parents died in a boat in an accident Um, when she was a little girl at the time she was staying with with families ends And unfortunately they perished on a boat with another couple and they were never found. Um, yeah A little dramatic y'all, but you can handle it, right? I know my child can handle it. That's why I'm telling him this So anyway, Mina is in her 20s. She was raised by her grandparents. She just moved out of their home Um, it's been only a couple of months. So she's been living on on her own for her first time in her first apartment She has night classes. Um She wants to become a lawyer one day So she takes me back up in order to cover her expenses at night for for um school Mina is a she does tours for a For an old plantation that is supposedly haunted But Mina doesn't believe in ghosts. She doesn't believe in ghosts her some of her friends And family members are completely shocked that she would agree to work on a plantation Um, but she doesn't care. She has to mindset that she has she wants to go to school She has bills to pay so she works at this plantation So besides her the other people on this plantation is mr. Joe. Now mr. Joe helps to Run the grounds. He makes sure all the plants are taken care of he makes because this is a big plantation We're talking about a couple of acres of land. So mr. Joe runs, you know, make sure that everything is running Um, the grounds are running. He also fixed anything inside the house Now he has two two young boys who work under him that he managed Then you have miss louise miss louise is very superstitious She's an older woman from honduras, okay? And so she cleans the house every week weekly But she only comes in during the daytime early daytime jasmine So jasmine does three tours a day at the at the plantation the plantation is called the wilson plantation Okay, so she runs three tours the tours are nine o'clock 12 Where's the man gonna come? I'm gonna get it the tours run the tours run nine o'clock My axe is coming out nine o'clock 12 o'clock and two o'clock. All right, the tours are only an hour long The tours are only an hour long right Hour long in between there baby. You can't have that on camera. Come on now in between that She in between in between that she does other things to get ready for the next tour She doesn't she straightens up stuff. She covers the wind the mirrors. Excuse me for miss louise come in So let's get to it He doesn't know what a plantation is bless his heart. So baby a plantation is a huge Um, let's just call it an estate. It may include several houses. There's a main house. There could be a guest house There could be housing. You get it now There could be fields where they would have people who work on the fields Slaves, you know what slaves are right slaves who are working on the fields Um, oftentimes, unfortunately, they were punished on on the plantation JB you watch way too much No, it's that's not true. That's a that's a myth. So listen to me. Okay the reason why some of Mina's friends and family are Worried about her working on there is that the wilson's plantation The wilson's plantation is supposedly hunted By mr. Wilson and his wife their children And the old caretaker Who mysteriously vanished? Yeah, the person who was before mr. Joe. There was a person who was there before mr. Joe who who mysteriously vanished But the other people died during their time. All right So but me that doesn't care me that makes really good money plus she gets tipped So she's gonna keep working there till she's done with school. She's just got one more year left at school. So That's a little background. Now. Let's start the story. So Mina wakes up one day, you know, before she starts her job at the plantation She's gonna stop by Before she starts her job at the plantation. She's gonna stop by and get some coffee I didn't know I didn't know So so is it a mirror mysteriously? Seriously, um disappeared? No, you're gonna listen Are you gonna listen? So before me to go to the work She starts by the local cafe To pick up some coffee and something to drink As she waited she noticed a man on the side of her very first minute man That was kind of looking at her She noticed a very first minute man. Look at her and she kind of looks in him He's not first yet first in it. She looks at his hair and she noticed his really blonde He's actually an abino, okay Any plot pieces in this? We're gonna get there now. I'm thinking of this JB. I'm coming up that coming up this story That's why I'm fumbling I'm fumbling around I'm coming up with this story as I'm telling you, okay So Mina here up to get some stuff. She noticed him. She's like, well, I've never seen an abino in person But okay, whatever Get her food jumping a car. She goes ahead and tries to get to her work before her first tour Right. So why she's getting things ready. She's just the system I mean, she's just a ranger thing They have little pamphlets for people to could take while they're on the tour You know a map of the grounds all that so why she's Why she's scanning the tour the people who are coming for the first tour She notices the man in the coffee shop there. He has on shades He's like, okay. He has on shades. I guess he you know, it's you know, it's a small town She doesn't live in savannah. They live outside of savannah. It's a small town, you know You can run into people that you don't so she starts to tour the tour starts in the Maybe Maybe she thought he was blind or something. Maybe maybe she thought he was blind So he's like, yeah, so she she starts to tour, you know, she you know Starts to tour the tour starts in the front of the house Then they go upstairs to the house. There's certain areas. They're all roped off Like they can't go into the bathrooms. They can only go into one bedroom of the house While she's doing why while she's doing this tour. She noticed the man is kind of staring at her And doing one point he smiles at her right. He smiles at her so Yeah, so they do the tour inside the house they do a quick tour of the grounds They don't do everything she shows the outside of the guest house None none of the slave quarters are up anymore. They took all of that away They do a tour of a well, you know, that's supposedly Haunted to there's a well in the grounds an old well that's supposedly haunted Whatever she see mr. Joe mr. Joe, you know Yeah, like oh, yeah, I caught up. She see mr. Joe. He's out there doing something in the middle of the field She's he said hi sugar. She says hi mr. Joe. How about going with this tour? So she goes up She sees, you know, the tour is about the end. She sees everyone packing up to leave But then she sees the young man Next to his car sitting there waving at her and he kind of gestures for her to come over So she's like, oh god, what is he? Well, maybe he has additional questions. She doesn't know so she walks towards him He can she could she could feel him looking at her behind those sunglasses So she takes her time honey She takes her time going over to him And he's like, hey, I just want to let you know that I really enjoyed the tour My name is what can his name be And let me think of a name. Yeah, think of a name for him JB His name can be quentin quentin quentin. Mm-hmm. Okay, quentin He said I'm sorry to bother you. I know you're getting ready, you know for your next tour But I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your tour My name was quentin by the way. She said hi. My name is jasmine. You know, thank you for stopping by Did you have any other questions or anything? He's like, yeah, I wanted to know a little bit more about the well And she thought that was kind of interesting because typically when people have additional questions It's about the bedrooms the room the house itself or the guest house not the well So she's like, well, um I don't have any, you know, I don't have a lot of else, you know, but mr. Joe He's been working here the longest maybe you can like in the story all these people are black So she's like, well, maybe you could talk to mr. Joe. I will get him for you He's been working here the longest maybe he can answer your questions. So quentin's like that'll be good. I can wait here So quentin thought that was I another thing she noticed about him is that it's 90 Like 90 91 outside this man has on a full suit A suit hit all his arms are covered his bottoms are covered everything he has on a suit He's completely covered And it's hot is 91 degrees outside and he has in the suit granted is the thin suit But she just thought it was very odd that he had on a suit. So Okay, so she goes get mr. Joe. She's like mr. Joe. I'm sorry to bother you. He's like what you want, baby She's I'm sorry to bother you. We have a visitor over there. He has some questions about He has some questions about the old well, mr. Joe eyes dart over to the man by the car He looks kind of suspect. He looks kind of suspect He's like, well, why what type of questions that he has she's like, well, I don't know mr. Joe You know when you get time when you're done with this because you please, you know go talk to him so mr. Joe makes his way over to quentin and uh Jasmine goes ahead and starts to head off to She starts to head off to the big house, right? All of a sudden she hurts yelling and screaming It's mr. Joe and the mysterious man quentin now mr. Joe said now you get out of here um jasmine Stops what she's doing and she's seen mr. Joe is visibly upset now the man quentin has gotten in his SUV and he's gone now She's seen him headed up towards the road. He's gone. He's leaving the plantation She goes up to mr. Joe. Mr. Joe. Are you okay? He's like hey, baby. Yeah, I'm okay I just that young man would say why why did you ask me to go talk to him sick one? I don't know mr. Joe. He seemed Pleasant, I mean he didn't seem like he wanted anything. What what what happened? Yeah, he started asking about the question. He started asking about the well But then he started bringing up all of this stuff about voodoo and the old caretaker being in being in the witchcraft and voodoo and I told him We don't want that type of talk around here. We we we don't do that around here Jasmine looked at mr. Joe. She knew it was more to the story, but now was in the time So, you know, she patted him. She patted him on the back and said, okay, mr. Joe Well, who are you cross? She's okay. No, mr. Joe. Um, I'll leave you alone. I'm sorry that happened to you. So Jasmine goes on about her day um The second tool and a third tour ends up well You know everything's run smoothly with those tours. So she goes ahead packs up everything says bye to mr. Joe And um, she leaves in the keys because he locks up everything for the big house So she doesn't even have to do all that. Okay, because he sleeps on the actual grounds mr. Joe But she noticed something very strange when She saw she noticed something very strange as she was leaving she saw mr. Joe looking at her And then as she was getting to her car. She looked in her rear view mirror She saw mr. Joe standing down looking down inside of the well And the two years she's been working there. She never saw mr. Joe act like that That's it for this part of the story you want more of that said Oh my god, I have to think of what to say jay
